 The food was excellent! The chicken adobe Marsala could not have been improved on and a special entree incorporating strawberries was really creative (and not at all sweet). Service was friendly and professional.
Food was a mixed bag. The appetizer (beet salad) was very good though the portion was very small. The main course (duck) was fair. The duck was accompanied by a mediocre “fruit salad” and was not well cooked (the skin was not crispy). Dessert Thai tea tiramisu was tasty. There was one waitress covering the entire restaurant and while she was very friendly she was totally overwhelmed and the service was extremely slow.
I have wanted to try Walnut Street Kitchen for some time and was pleasantly surprised when I was able to get a reservation for Easter Sunday. Every dish was delicious especially the pork chop, which was cooked to perfection! Ended out meal with the olive oil cake which we were told has won awards, I agree it was amazing! The restaurant is very warm and inviting and I love that the owner came out to meet us after our meal. Walnut Street Kitchen also showcases local artists (now showing, Patricia Patzi) which gives this restaurant an extra STAR.
We enjoyed a delightful dinner at WSK on a rainy Wednesday night. While the weather might have discouraged some diners from venturing out, we were thrilled that we decided to go! The halibut dish was cooked to perfection, and the chicken-fried wild mushrooms were absolutely delicious. Beverly truly raises the bar for other restaurants in Montclair! She is a talented chef and manages a fantastic establishment. The BYOB policy makes it an even better choice!
Short walk to wellmont theatre for performance last night. Looked like a place popular with locals. Cute restaurant. No liquor license. Extremely creative well prepared menu. My husband had duck crostini and homemade pappardelle pasta and I had cacio de Pepe appetizer and bibimbap. Very eclectic menu. Keeper for return visits to Montclair
